If you're a professional who's looking to change careers or for your first job, these tips can help ease the process. Taking proactive strategies can also improve your chances of getting the job, particularly if the industry is competitive. These strategies can be applied to women and men of all ages, regardless of their levels of education.

Men can get jobs by telling their family, friends, and former colleagues know that they are looking for work and searching for jobs on the internet regularly using key phrases that describe their talents and preferences. If you're seeking jobs in human services you can search for terms like "social service" and "human service worker". Another suggestion is to work as a volunteer or temp to gain experience and make connections through networking.

A final employment tip for men is to remember that it's important not to become discouraged in the event that you're having difficulty finding a job. Retail and food service are two sectors in which it is more difficult to find an employment than other industries. In addition employers might be concerned that employees who are over 40 are more expensive and less tech-savvy than younger workers. This could cause employers to discriminate against older workers when they make hiring choices. One way to address this issue are to limit the number of years of work experience you list on your resume, eliminating dates from your education section, and focusing on adaptability and flexibility in your interview.
